S TY TONG PEACEFALS; ILLINGS RENEWED Thanksgiving Strollers Cap- ture Two Suspects in New " York Shooting. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 28.—The specter of tong warfare again hovers over Chinatown today as a result of the failure of the Hip Sing and On Leong tongs to sign the peace pact scheduled for formal .acceptance Thanksglving day. Continuance of the campaign of terror was foreseen by Eddie Gong, secretary of the Hip Sings, following the killing of a member of his or- sanization within a few hours of the expiration of the temporary truce between the tongs. Goag Chong Food, 58, a laundry- man, an inactive member of the Hip Sing tong, was shot to death by two gunmen yvesterday in the Bronx. The &lleged assassins, who said they were Lee Har and Moy Yiek Tong, were captured after a chase by men and women who, according to police, saw them leaving Food's establishment with smoking revolvers in their hands. The police say they gave the headquarters of the On Leong tong, in Mott street, as their home addresses. Following their interrogation through two Columbia University Chinese students, acting as | terpreters, and their identification by sfx witnesses, the police announced that they had established a clear case of murder against them. Added Precautions Taken. The killing of Food, having been preceded by the shooting to death of two Chinese in Hartford, Conn. and followed last night by reports of the suspected murder of another Chinese in Newbern, N. C. police have taken special precautions against another outbreak of violence in Chinatown. Fifty patrolmen and more than 30 detectives are on duty there today. “We don’t want trouble” Eddie Gorlg said last night. “I personally feel, however, that we will have to protect ourselves. Food and his son were working in their laundry when two men pushed open the door and opened fire with automatics. The father dropped under a dozen bullets. The son hid behind a counter until the assassins backed through the door and disappeared. Thanksgiving day strollers became a posse and captured the two sus- pects. Two automatic pistols were found In an alleyway along the slay- ers' line of flight. All agencles of mediation—consular, police and business — acknowledged the fallure of efforts to prolong the truce under a pact of permanent peace. The feudal belligerence of tong leaders killed all hope and made further negotfations in the immediate future promise barren results, the mediators.say. LAUNDRY FIRED ON. Owner Says Chinese in Auto Were Attackers. SCHENECTADY, N. Y., November 28.—Police are watching the Chinese section here, fearing the spread of the tong war. One Chinese is under arrest, charged with carrying a concealed weapon, and police are seeking the men, be- ieved to be Chinese, who opened fire on a Chinese laundry yesterday. Quong Lee, the owner, fled to tong headquarters, where he sald he and his helpers had been fired upon by Chinese believed to be enemy tong men traveling in an automobile. . MURDER SUSPECTED. Laundryman:Shot to Death in Caro- lina. NEW BERN, N. C., November 28.— Charlle Long, Chinese laundryman, was found dead in bed here yesterday with a bullet wound through the right eye. A pistol with two cartridges ex- ploded lay beside the bed. While every indication was that the man had committed suicide, Coroner J. L. Hartsfleld announced that he would ®o behind the coroner's jury verdict of “suicide.” Fearful that the death of the laun- dryman might have some connection with the tong war, the coroner as- merted that he would have an autopsy performed to ascertain if the bullet ‘was from the pistol found beside the body and would attempt to establish ownership of the weapon. It was xtated that there apparently was no local reason for the man to kill him- melf, and the coroner expressed the view that he may have committed muiclde because of fear of tong repri- sals upon himself, but that he intend- ed to investigate the matter fully. MRS.

At present his status Is that of the man without a country, for Turkey. the land of his adoption does not want him and the United States will not have him. Back to Turkey he would go in a hurry if the Turk- ish government would consent to his deportation to the Ottoman empire. But Turkey claims Zerdecheno is an outlaw from that country, and pro- tests that Turkey doesn't take back outlaws.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 28.— Eight negroes, rescued last night by Alexandria policemen from a mob at Accotink, are held in police station here for Fairfax County authorities. James Miles of Culpeper, one of the number, is alleged to have slashed Elwood A. Leary, a storekeeper of Accotink, were given a hearing before Justice Troth today, four being fined and one held to the grand jury without bail. Three women were acquitted. Following the cutting, Miles dash- ed for the open country which sur- rounds the little hamlet and was caught a half-hour later more than two miles distant when bloodhounds from the District workhouse at Oc- coquan trailed him so closely he dash- ed into a barbed-wire fence. The posse was led by W. C. Dove, deputy sheriff of Falrfax County. David R. Windsor made the capture. When the negro was returned to Accotink the news spread and in- habitants of the village and country nearby gathered, some with ropes, prepared to have vengence for the injury to their fellow townsman. Lynching Threatened. ‘When Policeman Snoots and Wil- liams of Alexandria and B. G. Durrer, trafiic officer of Fairfax County, ar- rived on the scene the mob of nearly 200 was in such a mood that the of- ficers found it necessary to draw their guns to get the negro and his com- panions away. They were rushed to the Alexandria police station. A charge of assault with attempt to kill was lodged against Miles, while the others are held as witnesses. The group probably will be given a pre- liminary hearing at Pullman's store before Justice F. W. Troth this after- noon. According to authoritles at the base hospital, Fort Humphreys, where Leary was treated, his condl tion s serious. His throat was slashed. The negro entered to buy a sandwich.

Miles denied it, but Leary pulled the gloves from his pocket, it is sald. Miles went to his auto, where others of the party walited, and returned to the store, accompanied by another negro. The cutting followed. Miles denled the attack. He sald he offered to pay for the gloves. He was held for the cutting, while Willis Carter, Henry Hayes, Norman Terrell and Alex Miles were fined $50, $20, $20 and $20, respectively, on charges of be- ing drunk and disorderly.

Egyptian Officials Say Mutiny Confined to Battalion. By the Assoclated Press. LONDOX, Novembeg 28.—The Egyp! tian embassy in Lohdoh sald today that it regarded the outbreak among Egyptian troops at Khartum as not due to any Influence outside the bat- talion involved and .not connected officially with the trouble in Cairo. It is stated In officlal quarters, however, that it was expected if trouble broke out along the Nile it would originate in the Sudan. While a mutiny of troops was not an ex- pected possibliity, it was not left ou side official calculations, and the gov- ernment feels that it has the position %0 in hand that spreading of the dis- orders to Egypt is improbable. The arrest and imprisonment of the leaders of the Egyptian extremists removes the greatest dangers to the situation In Cairo and Alexandria, where any Important outbreaks, 1t 1s thought, would be likely to start. The new Egyptlan government has co-operated with the British govern- mental authorities in the arrest and incarceration of dangerous extremista. British Scout Mutiny. The mutiny’of the Egyptian troops at Khartum cannot spread sufficiently to endanger the British position in the Sudan, nor is it lfkely to have any in- fluence against the British there, it was stated by an offical this afternoon. It was pointed out that the battalion at Khartum constituted the only force of Egyptian troops now left in the Sudan, and that ‘the British military was strong enough to keep the situation in hand. The battalion in question was to have left Khartum today in the wake of the 1st Battalion, which moved out of the Sudan yesterday. The Sudanese troops and people, par- ticularly in the southern part of the territory, have appeared satisfied with the conditions there, it was stated, and there never has been any indication of trouble from that quarter. PROTEST SENT TO LEAGUE. By the Amsociated Prees. GENEVA, November 28.—The League of Nations today received a protest from the Egyptian Senate condemning _ Great Britain's recent action in Egypt. The document is couched In terms similar to the pro- test recelved from the Egyptian Chamber of Deputles, characterizing the British’ demands for satisfaction for the assassination of Sir Lee Stack, the sirdar, as excessive and iniguitous. The league also received a letter from M. Hymans, president of the league’s council, notifying the secr tary general, Sir Eric Drummond, that Hymans had already recelved, direct from the president of the Egyptian chamber, a copy of the protest distributed by that body to all the.world parliaments and to the league. M. Hymans received the correct text of the message, whereas that de- llevered to the league had a line dropped out at Marseilies, where was repeated during the transm eva. The corrected text shows that by an extraordinary coincidence the er- ror affected one of the most impor- tant points In the namely, an appeal for league interventlo: Officials said today that the Senal protest makes no specific request for intervention. In his letter to the secretary gen- eral M. Hymans did not Indicate ‘what, if anything, he would do about the Egyptian ir in conmection with the next meeting of the league council, which is to open in Rome on December 8.

ANTWERP, November 28.— The Ford automobile assembling - plant which supplies Belgium, Holland, Germany, Luxemburg and Switser- land, was closed last night because of the new Belgian tariff, which, ot clals of the plant say, makes Lmpors duties SCHOOL OFFICIALS OPEN CONVENTION Preliminary Work Discussed by Association of College and Prep Institutions. Subjects necessary for the prepara- tlon of a student for college work were outlined to the delegates to the thirty-eighth annual convention of the Assoclation of Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle States and Maryland, which opened today in the auditorium of the National Museum under the auspices of the colleges and Achools of this city.. Wilson Farrand, headmaster of the Newark, N. J. Academy, outlined what he believed fo be the fundamentals of such train- ng. Before the convention started on its regular business, it listened to two addresses of welcome, one by Com- missioner John J. Tigert of the United States Bureau of Educatlon, and one by Dr. William Mather Lewis, presi- dent of George Washington Univer- sity,. where the several sessions of the convention will be held tomor- row, and response by Dr. John H. Denbigh, president of the association, of Brooklyn, N. Y. Streas Capital as Center. Both of the welcoming speakers pointed to the great advantages of Washington as a center of education. Commissioner Tigert sald - that be- cause the Capital City was so accus- tomed to welcoming princes, poten- tates and the like the delegates were likely to feel it was blase, but he assured them that the officals of the Government and the officials of the educational institutions here gave them a cordial welcome, He pointed out that there were many educational institutions here, some of which dated back to the time of Washington, and these have served much to maintain the educa- tional atmosphere which means much. Commissioner Tigert referred to the great strides that were being made in education, so fast, he said, that a book on science two years old was out of date, and said that meet- Ings of this kind to push the advance- ment further were vital. Dr. Lewis Speaks. Dr. Lewis told the delegates that their meeting was a sort of home- coming, because this is thelr city, and welcomed them on behalf of George Washington, Georgetown, Catholic and Howard - Universities and the schools of the city. “This is not our city,” he sald. “We have nao vote here. It belongs to you—the péople of the country at large—and In coming here you are coming to your city as the people of the country should com He referred to the thousands of high school and college students who make pilgrimages to the National Capital every year and sald he was much interested in them. Dr. Lewis expressed the hope that in some way he might be able in the future to have such groups of students come first to the George Washington Uni- versity, because of its downtown lo- cation, and get direction from there as to what the National Capital has to offer in an educational way, and thus get the background of what the National Capital means to them. Ignorance Menaces Peace. By coming, he said, it would serve to impress on ‘the officials here the importance and necessity of educa- tion and its relation to government. He pointed out that 1f the Nation is to do what it should do in the for- eign fields, there must be the right type of education. Dr. Lewis sald that Secretary Hughes had said that what is needed more and more In the diplomatic service is men and women with the right cultural background. That, he sald, is not recognized by our legislators. There s not going to be that peace with other nations, he went on, as long as there is that misunderstanding due to ignorance. President Denbigh, In response, thanked the welcoming speakers for their words, and then told of the great work that had been done by the associalion which now is meet- ing in annual convention here. It has never lost sight of the meaning of real education, but has always kept in mind the adjustment of the individual to his spiritual posses. sions. This city, he said, as the place of meeting, should quicken that ideal. Outlines Train: Da. Farrand sald that English, mathematics as far as algebra and plane geometry, Latin and one mod. ern language should furnish the basis for the student for higher education. Dr. Atis W. Caldwell, New ~ York City, spoke on ‘Wanted, “A New Spirit in Sclence Training.” At the conclusion of the morning session the delegates went to the Raleigh Hotel for a luncheon ten- dered by the colleges and schools of Washington. ‘The afternoon session also will be held at the National Museum, and will include addresses by Dr. Her- bert Hawkes, New York City, and Dr. Percy T. Walden of Yale University. This evening there will be a din- ner at 7 o'clock at the Ralelgh Hotel. Tomorrow the convention will be divided into six groups, each of which will meet in Corcoran Hall of the George Washington University.

Whether these modifications are to be made is yet to be determined. It is known that the President was pleased to hear that the administra. tion public bulldings bill for the Dis trict and his reorganization bill are included among the important le lation to be introduced. The President has been an ardent advocate of this legislation and in his first message to Congress strongly recommended the enactment of each. The reorganization bill was drawn up from a plan made by the joint con- gressional committee on reorganiza- tion headed by Waiter F. Brown, as the personal representative of the Presi- dent.

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. While the Republican party was de- bating the kind of fate that ought to be meted out to “irregulars,” the Iowa G. O. P. put (itself on record with regard to Senator Brookhart. It demanded that he ‘“pick crumbs" until he “comes to his senses.” There has just reached Washington the text of a snorting open letter addressed to Brookhart by Louls Gardner of Ana- mosa, an influential member of the Towa State central committee. Mr. Gardner accuses the Senator, who has squeezed through by an official-count majority of 135, of outright “treach- ery” to the party whose label he wears. The letter alleges that Brook- hart's campaign speeches “were book- ed through La Follette and Wheeler headquarters,” and that when Senator La Follette visited Iowa Brookhart “met him, conferred with him and in- formed him that the Progressive ticket would sweep Iowa.” Capital politicians in a long time have not read a more sizzling com- munication than Mr. Gardner, who Is a newspaper editor, has hurled at Senator Brookhart. Here are some of its more stinging passages: Was “Treacherots Action.” “Your action, without precedent in the political annals of the State (in denouncing Coolidge and demanding the withdrawal of Dawes as vice resldential candidate) was followed Ey action on the part of the state central committee in defense of Cool- idge and Dawes, and by reaffirmation of belief in their integrity and of faith in the principles of the Re- publican party. It happens, Senator, that* I personally had some part in the traming of those resolutions. 1 thus know that in dignified manner and with intent to be consistent. the members of the committee feel it thelr duty thus to defend the nominées and proclalm faith in the party, be- cause of your treacherous action. “You chose the line of division. You declared war on the Cleveland platform, on the nominees who stood upon it and on all who differed with you. I have no knowledge that at any time you had the courage openly to indorse La Follette and ‘Wheeler, but the news columns indi- —————————————————————— to investigate the agricultural con- dition of the United States He belleves, however, the commis- sion should be given every oppor- tunity to complete its work and that no steps should be taken by either the House or the Senate looking forward to agricultural relief until the findings or recommendations are submitted. The Senator said the Agriculture situation in this country is such that relief legislation is im- perative and commerce zhould not de- lay granting it. In the advent that there is nothing done in this session, the Idaho Senator declared that the President should call an extra session of the Congress to take up the matter. Among others who called on the President today are: Members of the cabinet, Brig. Gen. Lord, director of the budget, Senator Harris of Georgia, Col. Michael Frisam of New York and H. A.

The princi- ples you adopted were in line with the La Follette platform. One of the last things La Follette did, before leaving your State, was to measure out to you what you doubtless thought was repayment for your loy- alty to his cause—his personal in- dorsement of your candidacy for United States Senator. Calls Issues Clear. “I don’t believe there can be any mistake about the issues. They were clearly made up. Your race for Sen- ator, in the make-up, résted with the voters of all Iowa to decide be- tween Coolidge and true Republican- ism, or Brookhart and party treach- ery—between Coolldge and his princi- ples, or Brookhart, with the Brook- hart-La Follette-Wheeler principles.” After analyzing the election figures Whereby Brookhart narrowly escaped annihilation, Gardner continues his lambasting, as follow: “A little consideration, Senator, of these figures and the events leading up to them takes away all glamor from your apparent success. It robs your victory of whatever gléry you may have anticipated. Why, Senator, had you run for the office you hold on the La Follette ticket, upholding there the same things and the same principles you upheld while on the Republican ticket, you would now be preparing to go back to Washington, lowa (Brookhart's home town), in- stead of Washington, D. C. There Is no doubt about this. The natural Question now uppermost in the minds of Iowa voters is, what your course is going to be in the face of these conditions. “Belong to La Follette Party.” Then the Iowa Republican state committeeman talks even more plainly, thus: “At heart' you belong to the La Follette party. The Republicans of Iowa have clearly repudiated you. Are you going to remain true to the Wisconsin {deas and misrepresent lowa, or are you going to show that contriteness of spirit, that humility ‘which should follow such a chastise- ment, and throw your strength and support to the cause of Republican- ism under the leadership of Cool- idge and Dawes, who swept Iowa from under your feet? “Senator, there can be no evading the matter. The time for foaming and charging and raging is past. Iowa has shown you what Iowa thinks. When you get down to Wash- ington, you ,will be rated as a third party man. True, you have a Repub- lican coat, but underneath is the man. The man has spoken. The State knows what he stands for. As a third party man you should only be entitled to representation on com- mittees in ‘ratio to the membership of that party in the Senate. This is going to deprive Iowa of some pres- tige, just as you deprived Iowa of prestige In defeating Senator Cum- mins for an important chairmanship.

WIith the third party fellows you belong, and with them you should pick crumbs until you have come to your senses—until you have grasped the significance of the fact that you have, already, too long misrepresented Iowa."

Three automobiles after collisions with other machines and one after knocking down two lampposts failed to stop yesterday\and make identity of the operator known. Robert Lawrence, 21, a marine sta- tioned at Quantico, Va., was knocked down by an automobile at Pennsyl- vania avenue and John Marshall place last night, after which the motorist sped away. Police instituted a search for the automobile today, of which a good description was furnished. Instruc- tions were to make the search just as thorough as though Lawrence had not been slightly injured, since, according to officials of the Police Department, the automoblle would have kept go- ing even had he been killed, from all appearances. Lawrence, as It was, sustained cuts and bruises about the face and w. given first aid treatment at Emer- gency Hospital. Auto and Truck Collide. Another automobile failed to stop after a collision at Central avenue and Benning road northeast with a truck operated by Robert Johnson, colored, 2230 Foote street northeast, who escaped injury.

Returning members of Congres: are showing a significant curlosit: about the chances of another revision of taxes. And they will find that the answer to their queries cannot be given then: by the President or the Secretary of the Treasury. For tax revision de- pends on two unknown factors. One is the business condition of the coun- try—a better economic situstion meaning increased revenues—and th. other is the spending proclivity of Cor gress {tself. The Treasury estimat. last th that there would be a surplus of about $380,000,000, but it actually cam to $505,000,000, which goes to show that the forecasts cannot be exact and that a favorable busin situ- ation and rigid economy can change a prediction materfally. Assuming that on the basis of the figures already published there is an indicated surplus of about $70,000,000, this would not be enough to warrant recommendation for a revision of taxes. But the experience of the past has taught that Treasury esti- mates can be exceeded. For this reason some people have gone 8o far as to say there will be a $350,000,000 surplus, notwithstanding the cut that has been made by the new tax law in the expected recelpts. Congress, to some extent, has it in its power to bring about a surplus of $350,000,000. Economy in expendi- ture will do the trick. If a business man wanted to bri about a surplus at the end of a y he not only would cut down his ex- penses of operation, but he would look to increased revenues by better business methods. The Government and Congress can't improve economi conditions except by omitting to dis turb business and avoiding the im- position of uncertainties in one form or another. But Congress can do the other. It can fall to spend large sums and It can even inquire closely into the estimates of expenditures made by the executive departments. Pre- sumably the budget director has dono all the pruning possible, but Congre*s has been known to slash aprpopris tions which emanated from executive departments even since the budget system came into operation. The relationship between another horizontal cut in taxes—say, 26 per cent on incomes earned this year— and economy in Government expendi- ture never has been so easy to de- termine nor £o manifest to the naked eve of the taxpayer as it is today. Economy has always been something academic, because the income tax law has not been well understood, and the war upset all standards of ex- penditure. In the last few years, however, economy has become one of the paramount issues, and the elec- tion of President Coolidge is at- tributed by many of his friends to his efforts to effect economies in Gov- ernment operation. Sentimen: among those members of the House and Senate who are here for next week's session is plainly in favor of another tax cut. The argu- ment that the executive branch of the Government has been making, namely, that until after the payments made on March 15 next, the exact revenue- producing capacity of the present law will not be known is recognized as sound, but it usually leads to a dis- cussion of what the administration will do If there {s a surplus. The administration insists that it has not closed the door to an extra session, but it must see a substantial surplus before it can talk about tax revision. And until Congress has wound up its short session on March 4 nothing will be known of the exact amount of money appropriated for Government expenditures. The infor- mation needed to confirm the present judgment of the administration or to bring about a change in its de- cision will therefore be available about April 1, and the whole subject of an extra session and a further tax cut may be postponed until those fig- ures are available and the record of Congre; on economy Iis definitely made.
